Oh- Here's a link.

Congratulations Matt!

I need to buy a couple of copies to give out at Florida gun shows. Or if you want to come down to do the circuit you can crash at my place.

If you do option the book for a movie deal just remember that I still am a card carrying Local 80 grip and I could use the work.

Good work my friend.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Congratulations, Trav. I can't wait for the copies I ordered to arrive!

Future hard cover editions may include some roses twined around the rifle for soccer moms and sensitive souls like yourself.

LOL! I received my copy today and intend to start reading it in a few minutes. FWIW, I love the drawing on the cover. I think it's pretty damned cool.

[Travis McGee]

Sounds great Sean! Gunshows are a crucial early market. I'm giving half off for boxes of 16, that's just about my cost with shipping etc. I just want to get them out, to build awareness.

[Travis McGee]

I'm learning something about bulk "media mail" rate. It's really a crap shoot, some books were delivered in 3 days halfway across the country, and you're still waiting. I guess it's in the back of a half filled truck waiting somewhere.... It should be there by the end of the week at the latest.

[Travis McGee]

I think DocZox' snake/rifle Gadsden logo is pretty damn cool too. I always did, I had my eye on that logo before I even wrote the book.

Some may say it's simplistic or cartoonish, and it is.

But it's also memorable, and describable, as in when telling friends about the book, with no chance for confusion. ("Enemies something. Bright yellow, with a snake around a rifle on the cover.")

On a deeper level, it joins the founding fathers' 2nd amendment feelings with the modern "assault rifle" debate.

Pretty damn cool.

Put me down for a box of 16. I'll contact you later.

[Travis McGee]

That's great. They'll move out a lot faster by the box!

[Travis McGee]

What kind of freeper reads EFAD?

[Joe Brower]

Yo', Trav!

On the subject of marketing EFAD at gun shows, I will be going to one of the biggest gun shows here in Florida the weekend of the 20th-21st (Lakeland Rifle and Pistol Club), and I'd be happy to do my bit to help you spread the word. What approaches would you suggest or have you used already? I was thinking if you could send me a pack of the those large yellow cards with the book cover and contact info on 'em, I could pass them around to every bookseller I see there. . I'll also take with me a copy of the actual book so they can check it out first-hand.

Let me know what you think.

[Mulder]

Congratulations, Trav. I can't wait for the copies I ordered to arrive!

I'm over here in Lake county, and got mine yesterday. Yours shouldn't be too far behind....

[ConservativeLawyer]

It should be there by the end of the week at the latest.

No problem! I wouldn't have time to get to in until this weekend anyway.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Yours shouldn't be too far behind....

Cool. The only things that get to me quickly in the mail are bills. :o)

[ConservativeLawyer]

Kewl. Do we get all that nifty stuff with our book order?

[Travis McGee]

I wish! It might be possible, but only if they were paper fold outs.

[Travis McGee]

I'll send you a bunch of the cover cards, plus review sheets.

That and a copy of the book to look at should get some interest at the book selling tables.

[Squantos]

Now dat's just damn scary..........albeit my SIG 220 isn't coated and "my" mossburg is a SGT Remington 870 with a side saddle vs a stock sock and my CAR-15 is in .300 whisper. I also carry the CATO Pocket Constitution /DOI and carry a Terzoula ACTF folder........

and a evil suv

........Just 3 magazines for the AR ? I take it the reader is only half way thru the text...............:o)

The kewl tewls of the Republic for which we stand !.........HUA !

Stay Safe !

[Travis McGee]

I noticed the mere three mags as well, but I assumed this was just the standard picnic loadout.

The man is well armed in any case!

[Squantos]

LOL........If only every home had those simple tools available to it......

That would be a good pic for the "what guns should I have in my home" threads. You know the ones Eaker starts on Fridays ...........:o)

Stay Safe !!
